I've always thought it would be inspiring to teach. You have so many opportunities to do all these things. Maybe all of us do...we just have to look in the right places. I would second Alex. And may we who want to be published reach that most lofty of goals. Thanks

2014 brings a new stage in our lives. Our daughter finishes high school and moves away for college. It's happy, sad, scary and exciting. I have to remind myself that my husband and I enjoyed our lives first the first 10 years of marriage before her and we will continue to when she is off having her own life away from us. (gulp)

Sharon - ACK!!! That's such a scary & exciting stage! My kids both stayed close for college (yay!!) but one has moved out and the other is saving up (boo!). I really like a full house of kids & chaos! All the best to you!
